Good start for new stable when third of nine at Kempton (1m) in May; ready win at Ffos Las the following month (1m, soft) and although she was only midfield at Kempton five weeks ago, she could resume her progress back on turf; rain would help.

Gained all four wins on Tapeta, the last three over 1m this year; well down the field when back on turf last month, though, and this drop back to 7f may not be ideal.

Best form on AW and she's 0-7 on turf; exposed filly but she landed her fourth AW handicap when scoring at Southwell (1m) in March and was back in that career-best form when second over that C&D a fortnight ago; chance if she can transfer those efforts to grass.

She should be well handicapped now and her last two runs have both been respectable; cheekpieces tried last time are now replaced by first-time blinkers; one to consider.

With Ian Williams for last two outings, finding 7f too sharp on first occasion and maybe 1m3f too far on second; now she splits the difference and is very well handicapped judged on plenty of form, including a 1m2f win last June; could be dangerous in first-time headgear.

Unexposed 3yo who won on handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in June and has been knocking on the door in both runs since; up another 2lb but she was only beaten a nose at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and is open to more progress; key player.

Won readily by 5l on last month's handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good) and might have been a shade unlucky not to folliow up here (1m, good to firm) three weeks later; moves up in trip today and could still have lots more to offer; good chance.

Useful pedigree (bred to stay 1m2f) and she's been a big improver from a very low starting point; hooded on last two outings, last time always front rank when justifying 6-5 favouritism by 5l in a six-runner race at Nottingham (1m, good) on handicap debut; up 10lb and probably has more to give.

Certainly didn't miss the hood when emphatically doubling her tally at Southwell in July (1m); those conditions when chasing home stablemate then done no favours by a wide draw; others appeal more from a handicapping perspective.
